Unbelievable Super Bowl Moments: The Longest Plays That Changed Football Forever
Roethlisberger has had the fortune of being the quarterback for a team that had the longest rush and longest defensive return in Super Bowl history. To his credit, he played much better in this Super Bowl than against the Seahawks in Detroit, throwing for 256 yards with one touchdown and one interception. But it all might have been for naught if not for Harrisonâs effort to end the first half.
The second-longest defensive return in Super Bowl history was an 82-yard touchdown by Robert Alford of the Atlanta Falcons against the Patriots in Super Bowl LI. Alfordâs interception of Tom Brady gave the Falcons a 21-0 lead, that, as you probably know, would turn into a 28-3 lead later. The Patriots, of course, would pull off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history with a 34-28 win in overtime. Itâs a shame that, even when celebrating a play in the record books, Falcons fans have to be reminded of what might have been.
